thirty -five
sam wasn' one prone to storytelling tangents , especially personal ones , so i shut up and listened wen he departed his grand canyon story and began telling me that rangerramona reminded him of his ex-wife , sherry , when they were young
mostly in good ways . the park service ranger , he said , was not soft and warm and touched him a lot during the meal. she had a hair - trigger laugh and dancing eyes that made him think she was paying attention when he was talking .
as surprised as i was by sam's spontaneous digression about his personal impressions of the female ranger , i was even more surprised when he went off on a long , unexpected muse about ranger ramona 's romantic disposition.
" she has this thing about unreliable lovers , " he said ." unreliable lovers '- that's what she calla 'em. it's well thjough out - it's like she's developed a theory about it . we were all done with supe and we were each having a piece of lemon meringue pie - she's not the dieter type , desert was her idea , she said the pie would be good , and it waass good - and she looks up at me and says that when i first introduced myself to her that afternoon , her first impression of me was that i would probably be an interesting but unreliable lover .
" she did ?" i said ." just like that ?"
out of the damn blue . i don't recall what we were talking about when that came out , but it wasn't about sex . i i would recall if it was . i tend to remember my conversations about sex . they're not frequent .
